Cheap Future

For customers who expect cheap or free:

I cannot always sympathize with that demand which we hear so frequently for cheap things. Things may be too cheap.

They are too cheap when the man who produces them upon the farm or the man or woman who produces them in the factory does not get out of them living wages with a margin for old age and for a dowry for the incidents that are to follow.

I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth or shapes it into a garment shall starve in the process.

– Benjamin Harrison, 23rd US President, August 1891.
